How Do You Use Ditto in a Sentence

To express that he felt the same way, my friend exclaimed, ” Ditto !”, when I was done speaking. Hannah encouraged me to speak my mind instead of saying ” ditto ” at every break in the conversation. The lecturer was very repetitive, so I used a lot of ditto marks while taking notes.

How do you use the word ditto?

1 —used to say that whatever you have said about one person or thing is also true of another person or thing Boston is getting a lot of rain. Ditto New York. [=New York is also getting a lot of rain]

Is using ditto rude?

Ditto just means ‘again’ or ‘duplicate’ or, in this case, ‘you too’. It is not insulting, slandering, or socially unacceptable, just their way of saying ‘right back at you’.
